Possible problem with overwintering?

Prepped my pepper plants yesterday for overwintering by pruning the roots and stem.. Decided to give them one last water of the year by my method of dunking them in a bucket full of water until they are saturated. However now I am slightly concerned as the compost is obviously sodden but the plants remain dormant, just worried that this could lead to root rot? :?

As long as they're not continuing to stand in any water now, e.g. in a saucer, the compost should dry out ok, I think.
